IGT247 Full-Metal Inductive Sensor M18 PNP 5mm IP68/IP69K | IFM

The Original New IFM IGT247 is a full-metal inductive proximity sensor engineered for the most demanding sanitary and high-pressure washdown environments. Featuring a robust 316L stainless steel housing with a flush metal sensing face, it is specifically designed for use in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical production, and automotive parts cleaning lines. The sensor is resistant to high-pressure cleaning with aggressive cleaning agents, withstands wide temperature fluctuations without thermal shock failure, and is rated IP68/IP69K for submersion and high-temperature, high-pressure washdown applications. With a 5 mm sensing range, gold-plated contacts, and a PNP normally open output, the IGT247 delivers reliable non-contact metal detection in harsh industrial environments.
